I have long been looking forward to the Pixar animation adapted from this classic fairy tale. I am very pleased that the director has retained the main structure of the original work and used a picture book plus narration to evoke the nostalgia of the audience reading this children’s book in childhood, and added a complete The narrative clues cleverly connect the real life of adults with the movie.

Little girls, like ourselves or our children, have their lives arranged early. The tiger mother has worked hard to design every step of the chess piece precisely for the child’s success. The little girl has no friends until she meets the grandfather of the pilot next door, who is also the narrator of the original. The pilot grandpa told the little girl the story of the little prince with hand-drawn drawings, dreaming of finding the little prince before. In the coming and going, the old and the young became good friends. Suddenly the old man fell ill. In order to fulfill the wish of the old pilot, the little girl took the fox and flew the plane, and went to the outer planet to find the little prince in her dream. It was accidentally discovered that the little prince who had grown up and no longer remembered the past. After fighting with the selfish and indifferent businessman, the little prince and the little girl released the imprisoned stars, returned to their own planet, and turned back to the childhood little prince. Prince. The little girl returned to her own world after comprehending the true meaning of growth, and handed the bound story of the little prince into the hands of the old pilot. The mother of the little girl also understood the child, and the mother-daughter relationship became more relaxed and harmonious.

The film uses a lot of metaphors to see through the emptiness, blindness, foolishness and rigid dogma of adults with the childlike eyes of the little prince, and expresses the loneliness and loneliness of human beings in simple and naive language, and expresses the criticism and criticism of the relationship between money. An ode to truth, goodness and beauty.

In the film, the meticulous urban traffic, the rigid trajectory of action, the pedestrians who bow their heads and walk quickly, and the professionals who are serious and immersed in their work are shown in the film. The ultra-fast-paced life, the indifference between people, the loneliness under the reinforced concrete, the almost crazy pursuit of excellence, are exaggerated but empathetic.

The fantasy journey of the little girl looking for the little prince, the process of the little prince turning from an adult to a child, how can it be that we look at the heart and rediscover the process of change in the innocent heart.

This is a fairy tale movie dedicated to adults. While looking back at the stories in our childhood readers, we are brightly sad, for our growth and forever the little prince.

    Most people grow up in a daze, follow the life planning table and follow the rules to go to school, postgraduate, employment and marriage. Too far apart from my parents, far away from my friends, and exhausted from my lover. The little prince tells you that there are still roses, foxes, and planet B612 in the world, and the sunrise and sunset that you can watch by moving a chair on it. This warm fairy tale is presented in CG and hand-painted paper molds. The soundtrack of Hans Dimmer is reassuring, but the adaptation of the little prince growing up is a failure.
